Download Just Walk Across the Room: Simple Steps for Pointing People to Faith AudioBook Free
Building on the solid foundation laid in Becoming a Contagious Christian, Just Walk Over the Room signals another era in personal evangelism. Pastor Bill Hybels's firm conviction is that the highest value in personal evangelism is being attuned to and cooperative with the promptings of the Holy Spirit. This means playing only the role you are designed to play—walking when the Spirit says to walk, talking when the Spirit says to talk, and falling silent when the Spirit suggests that you've already said enough.A lot more than two thousand years back, Jesus himself introduced the perfect model for evangelism. He left the marvelous adoration of the angels and the perfection of heaven, and he chose to "walk" clear over the cosmos. He had no memorized script, no forced formulas. Instead, he was armed only with an offer of redemption to the people like everyone else and me, a lot of whom were neck-deep in pain of their own making.Today, the target for each and every Christian is to reflect Christ's love and follow his example by taking simple walks across rooms—leaving our circles of comfort and extending hands of care, compassion, and inclusiveness to the people living far from God. Hybels encourages Christ-followers to "live in 3-D"—developing friendships, discovering stories, and discerning appropriate next steps—as a way of learning to understand the Spirit's promptings.With fresh perspectives from his own reflections and activities collected during his most recent decade of ministry. Hybels shows with undeniable clarity the power of this approach to evangelism. The stakes are high. The implications are eternal. And you might be only a conversation from having unparalleled impact on someone's life—if you will just walk over the room.
